What is special about FRANCE 24 is that it has two broadcasting and working languages but a single message which does not change according to the geographical location of the target audience: the content of the bulletins is the same, the images are identical, and the subjects and reports are dealt with in equal measure in English and in French. FRANCE 24 is not a French channel translated into English or into Arabic. > It is the first channel based on complete convergence between broadcasting and the Internet, abolishing the barrier between them from its inception. All the time FRANCE 24 broadcasts 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and 365 days a year, with hourly and half-hourly bulletins being updated day and night on both channels. CULTURE All the information NEWS WEATHER ECONOMY FRANCE 24’s programming schedule SPORTS deals with all the information in the world, with the emphasis on five main areas: > NEWS > ECONOMY > CULTURE > SPORTS > WEATHER All the understanding FRANCE 24 is a continuous news channel, but also an analysis and investigation channel providing the keys to understanding ever more complex current news. FRANCE 24 seeks not only to report on the visible part of such news, but to go further and disclose what goes on behind the scenes, through investigations, accounts and reports: FRANCE 24 is the channel that shows what the audience is not supposed to see, find out or know. All the French viewpoint In accordance with its stated mission, FRANCE 24 reports on international news with a specifically French viewpoint including a range of opinions, debates, disputes, confrontations, defense of multilateralism, secularism, solidarity, respect, freedom of expression, lifestyle, culture, fashion, gastronomy, etc. All the rigor FRANCE 24 is a channel based on the values, ambitions and standards summarized in a charter signed by each of the journalists. This charter is a reference tool for the men and women who, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, have to maintain their standards and their rigor despite the pressures and tensions of current events. All the images In addition to those which naturally circulate worldwide from the major agencies and international bodies, FRANCE 24 has its own network to produce its own images, with its specially selected photo journalists and correspondents in some thirty countries. All the flexibility Readable and structured, FRANCE 24’s programming schedule remains completely flexible and adaptable in order to allow the channel to maintain one of its guiding principles, its responsiveness: > Breaking news imposed by current events > Special broadcasts organized by the producers All the media Broadcast via satellite, cable and the Internet, and soon by telephone or videocast, FRANCE 24 is at the forefront of the revolution in news distribution channels. All the convergence FRANCE 24 is the embodiment of modernity when it comes to convergence: > Convergence between men and skills, with an adaptable and completely multimedia editorial team > Convergence of media, abolishing any barriers between television and the Internet > Technological convergence, with a completely computerized system, from image capture to broadcast. All the standards FRANCE 24’s priority targets are leaders of opinion: > Traditional leaders of opinion in the world of politics, the economy, international organisations, the media and universities… > New leaders of opinion: Their expectations have been defined by advance surveys and they appear to be very demanding of international information. They are also major users of new technologies and of the convergence between the media; they are very skeptical of a unilateral view of the world and keen to seek out contradictory opinions… 02 SCHEDULING FRANCE 24 programming is divided more or less equally between news coverage and news magazines or special reports, with the singularity of offering programs that are updated 24 hours a day. Program content is identical across broadcasted languages, with occasional simultaneous translation. News topics and reports are created variously in French, English and soon in Arabic, then adapted into the other languages using the same editorial approach. FRANCE 24 is not a ‘translated’ channel – rather, it is one that offers a unique editorial mix across languages. Prime time Reactivity and flexibility FRANCE 24 is organized around two prime-time slots: At FRANCE 24, reactivity is our watchword. Programming is > 6–9am > 7-11pm open-ended and flexible, and can be easily modified in response to world events and the strategic choices of our editorial team.
